Destiny Thief

Chapter 51 Fishing in Troubled Waters IV

Glo came to Mermaid Reef.

This is a tavern in the GK district of Afron. Compared to the ones in Nancheng District where the common people live, the food here is better, the drinks are more mellow, the waiters are more polite, and there are a large group of young and beautiful dancers.Of course, everything is more expensive.

"Sir, welcome!" The waiter who was clearing the tables saw Glo's arrival, and immediately ran over to greet him politely.His face was full of smiles, but his eyes were quietly observing - when he came to the "Mermaid Reef", there were usually some merchants, mercenaries, sailors, or adventurers, and occasionally some nobles appeared.Distinguishing these is the basic quality of being a tavern waiter.

The face of the eastern mountain people, the tight-fitting gray cloth robe with clean starch, and a rapier around the waist-this is the appearance the waiter saw.Then he saw a pair of shining and wild eyes, and he made a judgment in his mind, this gentleman might be a mercenary, or an adventurer who licked blood with a knife.This kind of people are not stingy when spending money on Rael because they want to enjoy themselves in time.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Glo came to a corner of the tavern.At this time, the tavern was bustling and bustling, and the dim orange lights shone in the not-too-large space, making it look full.After the waiter pulled a chair from under the table, Glo sat down, but he wasn't alone in the vicinity.He saw a table in the dark corner next to him. A man wearing a round-brimmed hat and whose face could not be seen clearly was sitting alone at the table with his legs crossed. The corners of Glo's mouth suddenly lifted, and he pulled over the chair and sat down. Opposite the man.

In the radar chart of the [Peripheral Character Status Bar], this is a red dot——according to the depth of the color, it is about 10 levels higher than him.The bandit leader's level is now LV13, and the opponent may look like LV22-LV23.During this period, there were not many people in the port city of Afron in the Northland who could reach this professional level, and judging from the fact that the other party deliberately let go of their posture, but still had some traces of professionalism in their demeanor, their identity was almost ready to be revealed— —

Kingdom Navy!And is an officer with a certain title.

It seems that they also smelled something different, and they all sent people to this kind of place to collect information.

As Glo took his seat, the shadow of the round-brimmed hat shook on the table a few times, but the man didn't look up.After the bandit leader glanced at him, he began to greet the waiter.

"One grilled steak, two glasses of rum—by the way, don't try to mix it with water, the tongue of a drunkard is not easy to deceive!" Groh knocked his knuckles on the table, shouting in the rough gesture common to mercenaries, He wasn't really worried that the tavern was cheating on this kind of thing. The reason why he added this sentence was purely to make himself more like an experienced mercenary.

The waiter worked very efficiently, and after a short wait, the grilled steak was served on a white porcelain plate, as well as two glasses of rum on the tray.Glo took one of the wine glasses and pushed it to the opposite side, "Sir, would you like a drink?"

"you know me?"

The "round-brimmed hat" on the opposite side raised his head, and he finally showed his true face. It was an ordinary face, but a pair of eyes were extremely bright. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly narrowed his eyes again. He opened his eyes and began to look at the bandit leader.

"From now on, maybe we know each other."

Glo smiled, interlacing the index fingers of both hands, making a pair of swords.

"Ok?"

The "round-brimmed hat" stared at Glo, and he knew the meaning of the other party's gesture just now—this was a code used by the military intelligence department to connect, but it was abandoned now because it was too simple, but it also meant something. That said, the other party confirmed his identity.

"who are you?"

"I'm from Karthus."

"The life of a soldier is as gorgeous as summer flowers, may the glory last forever."

"A hero's twilight years are as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves, but his will is immortal."

Glo had been exposed to a series of missions of Afron in the game in his previous life, and was impressed by some of the written records, so he answered the password casually.

"The old prince finally woke up?"

The "round-brimmed hat" suddenly revealed a mocking expression.In his opinion, there is nothing admirable about the lord who used to be personally powerful, but turned the territory into a mess and stayed behind closed doors, just like an old man who always dozes off. All the changes always remain confused.

"Master Adam has unavoidable difficulties, but he has never forgotten His Majesty's grace."

Glo "represented" Lord Nogo at this time.

"The current situation is not very good. The Escud family is already on the verge of moving. And our funds are also very scarce now."

"Round-brimmed hat" pulled up his collar and said in a low voice.Soldiers have always spoken directly, and his words express their demands straight to the point - asking for money.

Glo now has 200 reals in his pocket, and he hasn't spent a dime yet, but it's clear that he's never going to take out his pocketbook and donate it to military expenses.Moreover, 200 reals seems to be a lot of money, but it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the struggle between the two forces.

The bandit leader took a sip of the rum in the glass, and the delicate and sweet taste that slid off his tongue made him pout. He looked at the "round-brimmed hat", picked up the knife and fork, and stuffed a piece of roasted steak into the mouth.

"Good rum, sir. Won't you try it?"

"I didn't come here to drink."

Even though he said so, "Round Brimmed Hat" still raised his glass and drank it happily, "The kid from the Escud family often comes here, and he seems to be doing some kind of ghostly business."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Glo put down his knife and fork and asked seriously.In the game, this sentence is usually the cutting edge of the task.When projected into reality, this is just the breakthrough point for him to intervene in the power struggle between the two sides.Although the bandit leader himself has only a vacant position, he will not let go of any possible opportunity.

However, "Yambat" didn't respond immediately, he put down his glass and looked at the front hall of the tavern - a slender, strangely dressed young man with shoulder-length hair came in, followed by several mercenaries The well-dressed man looks strong and Kongwu, and he is very difficult to mess with.

"Boy of the Escudes."

The "round-brimmed hat" squeezed the wine glass tightly, and fine white cracks began to bloom on the glass.

Glo's gaze also looked over, his eyesight was very good, although the light in the tavern was dim, but he could still see that beautiful, fair and feminine face - the bandit leader was instantly surprised, he recognized That face was a well-known NPC in Avron in the previous life, the eldest son of Escud's current patriarch, Markuro Escud, known as the "dominant hypocrite".
